	'''Space travel''' is the passage of crewed or uncrewed vehicles beyond the atmosphere of Earth and into the expanse of outer space. It encompasses the engineering, orbital mechanics, propulsion physics, and operational logistics required to leave planetary gravity wells, navigate interplanetary distances, and support scientific instruments or biological organisms in extreme environments. Space travel represents one of the most demanding technical undertakings in human history, serving as a catalyst for advanced research, technological innovation, and existential risk mitigation.

	The motivation for space travel spans practical, economic, and philosophical domains. Leaving Earth provides unique observational vantage points for terrestrial climate monitoring, telecommunications networks, and astronomical astrophysics. On an existential level, establishing spaceflight capabilities provides a backup plan for humanity against planetary scale catastrophes, such as large asteroid impacts, catastrophic geological events, or runaway ecological degradation. Expanding beyond Earth also creates the potential for post scarcity material abundance by opening access to off world minerals, volatile elements, and infinite solar energy in the solar system.
